Despite rumours of disbandment, which have recently been circulating, Carp-R-Us; a thriving Sports and Social Club, is very much 'alive and kicking', Club members are as always, keen to support local Charities.  Every year, charities are nominated, and those chosen by Club members are supported throughout that year. Money is raised through different activities, and distributed at the end of the Club year.
 
In 2009, APAH and SAT; two local Animal Rescue Charities, and DEBRA (the Butterfly Children), were Carp-R-Us's chosen Charities.  Fund -raising events during the year included a Sponsored Fishing Match and two 'Crazy Golf Days' at a venue in Quesada, which proved to be very popular.  Carp-R-Us's bank; Cajamurcia, also chose, through the Club, to make a separate donation of 300 Euros to DEBRA.
 
At the end of the Club year, a total of 1,625 Euros was divided between the three Charities and representatives of each one were delighted to be invited to the Carp-R-Us Club Meeting, held on Sunday 21st February at the bar El Alto la Dolores, off the N332, to accept their cheques.
 
Carp-R-Us welcomes any enquiries from people interested in joining, and information on the Club can be found on its web site, www.carprus.net. or by contacting Colin Brinkley, the Club's New Members Secretary on  telephone number 966 712 351, E mail rojales1@gmail.com.
